santa

santa is a command-line tool for managing AoC puzzle-solving scripts. It handles downloading and caching inputs, as well as providing each script with appropriate input (so long as each script declares its corresponding puzzle in a docstring.)

To see it in action, try:

$ echo "YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN" > .TOKEN
$ santa run 2015/01

It follows the automation guidelines listed on the r/adventofcode Community Wiki. In particular,

• Once inputs are downloaded, they are cached locally in the .cache directory.
  • If you suspect your input is corrupted, you can manually request a fresh copy using --invalidate-cached-input. This should almost never be necessary!
• When interacting with adventofcode.com, santa sets a User-Agent header that links back to this repository.
